THE CHOLERA.
I. Still Has a Deadly Grip on Italy.


ROME, Sept. 25.-Very unsatisfactory news
reached here from Mcssina, where tie ch.iera
epidemic IL declared to be increasing in vio-
lence. The mortality is not confined to the
poorer classes, very many fatal cases having
taken place among the wcll-to-do. Great
misery prevails and the general distress was
increased on Friday last by the refusal of the
grave diggcrs to continue their work. Co.
eiclve measures had to he resorted to. But
eventually the men were induced to return to
work. The epidemic has also broken cut iu
the prison. 1t is difficult to obtain ANYTHING
more than mn approximation of the daily
number OF deaths, but they seem to avcsas .
some twenty or thirty In the Naples dis
tr!ct there has also been an increase during
the past day or two. The latest returns from
Castic-a-marc show thirty. nine cases ami,
twenty deaths during, the preceding twenty
fou. hours, while at Pozzuoli there have have
beer during the SAM, period fourteen casas
and stven deaths. At Rome the epidemic
shows signs Of increasing in violence, the
daily averaged OF eases being about forty. Here
again, there Is a determined effort to di. gu Sc
the truth. The ncwspapers-with one exec; :
t'on, which, after publishing a bulletin fer
some time, was, it is said bribed into silcrcs-
10 not even mention the existence Of the cpl
demic in the hope Of reassurtrg the public.
In consequence o, therccent eli at the vacti-
caa the Pope has suspended a audiences for
the present. The anxiety a. the v~act'c,n is
additionally great, as IT is feared that the epi
dem'c may irjure the Pope's jubilee.
One hundred and fourteen new cases of
cholera andtifty deaths reported at Mess,na.

THE HALIFAX EXPLOSION.
Nearly Forty Men MANNED and Tom BY
the Flying Rockets.

New YORK, Sept. PA Halifax
special. referring to the accident ON the
Bellersphon, briefly mentioned in the
press dispatches, says: On the night
of September 10, Governor General
Landsdowne and suite were at Quebec
and q grand entertainment in Lands
downe's honor was given on board the
flagship of the British squadron, the
Bellersphon. The iron-clad was gor-
geously Illuminated with electricity,
oil lamps ard fire works, and present.
ed the grandest appearance ever wit
messed in Quebec. At $3.50 O'Clock, as
Lord Landsdowne and party were leav-
ing for the shore, some six hundred
men of the crew were on deck. The
yards were manned, bands played and
there was a grand finale Of explosions.
A pile of sixty or more of the most
powerful rockets lay on tho upper deck.
One OF them. on being lighted, instead
of going upi n the air, exploded on deck,
igniting the pile of sixty. The
effect was tremendous. In a
moment the death-dealing rockets

ing the helpless men. The pieces were
flying up into the rigging and yards
and carrying havoc among the poor
fellows stationed there, and the sticks
were flying among the crowds on
shore and on board the French war
ships Minerva and Clarinda and other
vessels anchored in the harbor. The
Quebec papers the next morning an
nounccd that a midshipman
and two men had been injured.
The fact was that nearly
forty men had been moro or less in
jured. Thirteen of them, including
M%idshipman Doutney, so seriously that
the B%ellerophon had to leave Quebec,
and instead of going to Newfoundland,
as ordered, came to Halifax to place
them in the naval hospital. They are
terribly burned and laceratsd. Some
have the fleshy part of their thighs and
legs blown off; others have the muscles
of their arms torn. The explosion took
place about midshlp, and this gave Il
fore and aft sweep to the fiery serpent
during which many had time to hide
behind the guns.

stantly Killed.
CANTON, Sept. 20.-A bad wreck 90
Cured on the Milwaukee road at the
Sioux crossing, three miles east OF
Canton, at 4 O'Clock this morning.
Passenger train No. 2, bound east. j.
w. Morse conductor, an into the rear
of freight train No. ?. both trains go
ing at full speed. The freight train
was switching at Inwood Farm, and
the rear brakes we're not set. The rear
of the train came laundering down
grade toward Canton, q distance OF
several miles, and collided with the
passenger. The following is a list of
the killed:
Andrew Derreth, of Rock Valley, Ia, who
was in the freight csboose asleep. Lives at
Il Ca Vail v, Id, and leaves . family.
W. A. Piugg, Of McCregor, Ia, pass .nger
engineer. Leaves q family.
c as. Dunbar, Mason City, Ia. passenger
fireman.
The bodies have all b. en- taken from
the wreck, and wrecking trans from
both directions are clearing away the
| debris. Assistant Superintendent
Gable, of Mason City, is on the ground
experimenting the work.
Ten passengers were IN the smoker,
one in the express car, and about
twenty in the f~irst-class coaches.
Their escape IS truly miraculous.
One baggage car and mail car, the
locomotive, one smoker, six cars of
wheat, one car of cattle and q freight
caboose are piled into heaps or scat
tered over the prairie. Curious sight
seers line the. road to the wreck and
surround the scene.
Twenty members of the Canton band
left the train at this point ten minutes
before the catastrophe. They were in
the smoker, which was a short time af-
terward shattered to splinters.
The collision occurred near the edge
of the high bridge acrcss the Sioux,
aud ten seconds difference in time
would have thrown both trains into the
river.
The blame is attached to G. H. Mul.
liken, conductor of the freight, for not
setting his brakes at Inwood. The
bodies of the dead are lying at the de.
pot IN this city awaiting q coroner's in.
quest.
The accident occurred just across the
Iowa and Dakota line, and the coro.
ner of Lyon county. Iowa, arrived here
tonight to hold an inquest. G. Il. Null
likcn, the conductor on the freight
finished his run to-day, but the whole
crew will be removed by the company.
It is probable that the freight train
crew will be prosecuted for criminal
negligence. Assistant Superintendent
Cable is still here. The track will be
cleared so that the night trains can
pass. Tho wreck is an expensive one
for the company, both trains being
shattered to pieces.

Examination Of the Police Connected with
the Mitchelstown Riot--Snubb,ng the
Police.
LONDON, Sept. 2o.-At to.day's
hearing in the inquest over the victims
of the conflict between the police and
the meeting in Mitchelstown, ON the
9th inst, Constable Doran swore that
he fired four times at the crowd, twice
with buckshot and twice with ball.
The first bullet he fired, he said, pros
trated n man. He said the crowd
stoned the barracks and he believed
the barracks WAS in danger when he
fired. He said his face was wounded.
When the asked him TO stand
up and exhibit the wound Doran re-
fused at first to do SO, but finally did
so. No wound was apparent on his
face.
Sergt. Ryder deposed that he fired
three charges of ball from the window
of the barracks. He declined to say
whether he murdered anyone. He
simply did his duty, he said. Mr.. Har-
rington Interpreting, ..listen to me
you william" The witness re-
piled warmly that he was not a villain.
and asked the coroner's protection.
Harrington said the witness had been
sent there to bully him, and he was
hardly able to restrain himself from
kicking the witness then and there. A
spirited alteration cnsued, tho specta-
tsrs taking Harrington's side. The
inquiry finally had to be adjourned. 1t
is certain that a verdict of murder will
ce rendered against certain policemen.
